The declaration of the head of Odesa DEC was kept secret

The income declarations of the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper, and some of his deputies remain secret.

The Centerfor Public Investigations twice asked the Odesa Regional Military Administration about the salaries of top officials and was denied twice, but in April 2026, some departments provided data for 2025.

These responses made it clear that the three deputy heads together received more than 4.3 million hryvnias. The declarations of First Deputy Oleksii Kharlov and deputies Oleh Khymchenko and Yurii Puiko are kept secret.

As for the deputies whose declarations are available, they are as follows:

• Dmytro Radulov is the record holder among the deputies. In 2025, he received UAH 1 million 507 thousand. The salary grew throughout the year: from 29.5 thousand in January to 48.5 thousand in September-October. However, monthly bonuses consistently exceeded the salary, ranging from UAH 46 to 76 thousand. In September and December, financial aid was accrued: UAH 93.7 thousand and UAH 69 thousand, respectively.
• Anton Shalygaylo received UAH 1 million 457.7 thousand. His salaries ranged from UAH 20 to 46.3 thousand, and his allowances ranged from UAH 29.5 to 71.4 thousand per month.

It was in the last month, when he was dismissed, that he received UAH 97.7 thousand in financial aid and UAH 71.3 thousand in vacation compensation.
